BOUNTY HUNTER-BOOK ONE, Oct 3 2008
By Kay's Husband - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Double Bounty (Mass Market Paperback)
"Wild Bill Hickok may have been more famous than even
he believed. And Brian Fox was no Wild Bill Hickok."
"Brian Fox was a bank and train robber and was wanted in three
states..."
This western book which first saw the publishing light-of-day back in 1987, is now back in print from Leisure Western, August, 2008. I believe it to be the first book of a trilogy, with the second book THE LAWMAN, due to be released from Leisure November 25, 2008.
When your name is Decker and your profession is bounty hunter, your main problem is not so much catching "the legendary outlaw", Brian Fox, it is trying to figure how Fox can be in two separate towns, 100 miles apart, supposedly robbing two different banks at the same time. Eye witnesses swear that is happening, although Decker knows that is impossible. Felicia Wheeler, granddaughter of the editor of the Doverville, Arizona, newspaper has it figured out and is about to tell Decker all about it. The innocent have nothing to fear from "noose" Decker, but the guilty are without hope whether they realize it or not.
Mr. Randisi is among the top western writers riding the range today and DOUBLE THE BOUNTY is another 'crackerjack' traditional western from his prolific pen. This is a western writer and a western book not to be missed.
Semper Fi.

Randisi Magic, Aug 15 2008
By Tim Lasiuta "Comic Fan 42" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Double Bounty (Mass Market Paperback)
When the Bounty Hunter is on your trail....your days are numbered!
That's wher Brian Foxx finds himself. Supposedly, he comitted two crimes at the same time, yet he's only one man. Even Decker, the Bounty Hunter, can't figure out how this happened, yet according to eye witnesses, it did. Brian Foxx thinks of himself as Wild Bill, and his plan to rob two banks at the same time is genius.
What he didn't count on is Decker finding the posters, and setting his sights on the Foxx clan.
Western adventure by Randisi is always page turning. This time, the quest to escape and quest to capture collide. You know that when surival meets justice, it is never pretty. Truly exciting, this book is sure to thrill.

Randisi Writes A Great Western, Nov 9 2009
By T. Miller - Published on Amazon.com
Double the Bounty is the first in Randisi's Bounty Hunter series. Decker, the bounty hunter, is on the chase for Brian Foxx, who is famous for robbing two separate banks at the same time, one in Wyoming and the other in Arizona. Randisi's writing style (short chapters, lots of dialogue, and lots of white space) keep the story moving along at a fast pace. Once you start this one, you likely won't put it down before you finish it. While Randisi's westerns lack the ring of true authenticity found in the works of Louis L'Amour, he more than makes up for it in sheer storytelling ability. If you enjoy a well-written, fast-paced western, you will not be disappointed with Double the Bounty.
